Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Can Splatoon Go on and Sell 3mil Lifetime? (Shipped+Digital) [Update: 2.42mil LTD, 80% There]

it should sell around 700k-1m LT. It is hard to imagining it in the same league as Zelda or other established IPs.

Nope, doubt it will even sell a million honestly. I'm expecting W101 numbers...

Well, maybe 3m is too much, but the W101 numbers are too low. According to COMG, Splatoon have more than 20 point. usually 1 point = 1,000 unit.

Splatoon is gonna to have more than 50 point before released, that mean +50,000 sold, maybe even more.

W101 first week sold just 5k...

 

I expect 1,500,000 lifetime for Splatoon, as well it can sell under 1m, but the W101 numbers seriusly no way.


It will probably beat w101, but not by much.  right now vgc lists w101 as over 300k so with digital it is probably 400-500k?  I'm guessing splatoon sells 400-500k physically and adds another 100-200k digitally.  It really isn't that unreasonable of a prediction like some people are making it out to be...

Did you play Splatoon Demo?

If you played you would certainly know how good game is and how much potential for sale have.

Almost every Nintendo Wii U game is above or around 1m. Splatoon is 1+m seller, it great game and seems Nintendo is really pushing it.

lol, you wanna bet?



1-2m is my range. It would have to be heavily bundled to reach 3m, in my opinion. (Or the Wii U would really have to take off in general)

Did we expect Animal Crossing to be super huge? Look at it now :P

 

Edit: Just for you 2 kno i dont expect it to be that big^ :o



If Nintendo just continuisly bundles rare Amiibos with the game then sure.

I just finished playing the demo ... it's decent fun but no way is it sniffing those types of sales.


How so? THe demo closed 7 hour ago.

EDIT: Dont pay atention to what i just sayed.



Probably will end up at around 700K to 1.2M.

Good games do not automatically gain good sales, if sales potential was affected by quality alone, top 50 lists would look quite different today. Conversely; there are plenty of games with mediocre reviews that get massive sales, most of the later Call of Duty games are good examples of this.
